Here are some tips to help you have the most success (and fun!) as you bring your wedding vision from dream to reality! Whether you are just looking for inspiration or are ready to purchase everything from bouquets to complete bar set-ups and table arrangements, you’ll have a great time shopping at the Bride2Bride Marketplace event.

• Bring a friend or two (bridesmaids, fiancé or your mom)

• Bring cash! Preferably small bills. Although some of the sellers may be able to accept credit cards, Venmo or PayPal, they are not required. Since cash is acceptable by all vendors, come prepared so you don’t miss a great deal!

• Get advice from the sellers. Remember, they have just finished with all their wedding planning and are a great resource for what to do and what not to do. Take advantage of their experience!

• It’s a great idea to bring some boxes, tubs or storage totes with you. You can leave them in your car while you shop – then bring them in to collect your stuff. Also, make sure you have room in your vehicle to put the great wedding items you’re going to buy!!

• Check Bride2Bride Marketplace FB page before the event to preview items that will be sold at the event. 

• HAVE FUN!!!!
